Hi everybody! This is my diary for weight loss and exersize I guess. I had a really crappy day in terms of eating. I did walk to work and back, but i ate all crap when I got home. I want to cry.
Yesterday, I was gonna buy some chips, but I stopped and walked back out the door.
Ok, I'm eating chocolate right now. I'm grossed out by me at the moment.

Emmcookiesssssss.......... : (

Hey Girlfriend Ok We Are Here And You Can Do This You Need To Focus And Put What You Eat In Here So You Can See What You Need To Work On! Set Yourself Some Small Goals!
 
Ok, today being a new day(yes!), I'm gonna do much better.
I've had 2 pieces of toast with about 1/2 tablespoon marg. The bread was some sort of multi-grain type of bread. My coffee is black.
This is slightly depressing.
Ok, goals.
I need to find one of these cool weight thingies for the bottom of my posts.
I weighed myself this morning, and I'm 211. Yikes. I'm also 5'4". Gezzz.
Ok, goals, right.
I'm gonna cut out ... most of my sweets. Ummmm... say once a week, I'll have a small sweet. Can't believe I just said that.
Breathing deep now...... :eek:

hey emm cookie.. I know how feel dear!...my pb is/was coming home from work..having dinner and then a couple hours later..sitting in front of the computer..I'd munch on anything sweet...cookies/chocolate/cake...so that's what I did..I cut the sweets!...but I still allow myself a piece every week..
good luck, you seem motivated and that's the first step towards success.. :)
 
you've taken the first step!!! Writing down what you eat every day will really help you keep track and find out where your problem areas are. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will achieve your goals!!!!
 
We've got your back girl! Just remember that everyday is a new slate...a fresh clean start and together we will get rid of the junk and make our bodies a temple! I tend to beat myself up when I have a bad day....but I have new vow to just push the negative thoughts out of my head and replace with something positive! And from now on when junk food is screaming my name.... I have promised myself to either get out and walk or come to this web site instead of putting extra calories in me! We can do THIS!


:D
 
You will do this... You have taken the first steps so far and are doing good. i'm glad you will be treating yourself to your favorite treats once a week. ya never wanna cut it out competely... In order to get a tricker you could just click on anyones and it takes you right to the website to make your own.

Well, have a GREAT Weekend and drink your WATER :D
 
Wow, you guys are soooooooo supportive.
SOME of my friends say things to sabbotage me, as I'm sure most of us have had happen on occasion.
Yesterday I had a foot long veggie sub for lunch and taco salad for supper.
But the salad had regular chips and a whole block of soy cheese. And tofu sour cream. I am bad.
Today I was late for work so just XL coffee.
For lunch I had a can of beans in tomato sauce.
Tonight I'm having homemade pizza with half the cheese. I am trying.
Hope to do better tomorrow........:eek:

sweets

I am an emotional eater, and the times I have tried to cut out sweets I would get so depressed I would end up eating more of them by the time a week was up than I would have if I had not been trying at all.

This time I am doing things differently. I am logging all of my food so I can finally get real about the amount of calories I am consuming (and how much I WAS consuming before I started trying to cut back). I am allowing myself sweets, but I am trying to be smart about it. I am reading the labels for the first time in my life! Now, if I am wanting something sweet, I will eat a Blue Bell mini ice cream sandwich (100 calories and the size of 4 Oreos) instead of 6 Oreos like I used to eat (380 calories).

I don't know if that helps, but if you are an emotional eater like me, maybe that makes sense. :eek:
 
Ok, I ate a small date square for breakfast.
I went out with family friends for lunch and had some fries with my veggie burger. My coffee was black.
For supper I had pasta with tomato sauce, and 1/2 cup of soy cheese.
I had a glass of red wine, ummm.......once a week I think is fine.
I'm gonna have a apple in a minute.
I didn't workout today. I'm gonna walk to and from work tomorrow, and start the workout vids on Tuesday.
I really want to start taking bellydance classes in the fall. I did it a few years ago, and it was awesome. Wish I hadn't stopped.

Oh, apple time! :D
 
hey emmcookies. I love your name. reminds me of cookie monster. hehehe. ;)
If you're looking for a sweets substitute alternatives, try low-fat yogurt with sweetner. or better yet plain yogurt and then throw in your own fruit or even dried fruit. frozen yogurt can taste ALOT like ice cream. and if you got a blender, try blending a few fruits together with a bit of juice or milk, and you get wonderful smoothie concotions. That's what I do when I have a craving for sugar. You get the sugar but much healthier than candy or cookies. :)

and bellydance DOES sound cool. :eek: I wanna learn too... but my hips are stiff as a board. ^__^;

and hmm. homemade pizza sounds yummy! think I'll go make some tomorrow for lunch. thanks for the idea. :D
 
I totally recommend belly dance as an awesome fun workout cookie!..I took bellydancing for years and stopped it when I started travelling and living abroad...now I picked it up again...it does wonders to the stomach and thighs..and it doesn't even feel like workout 'cos once that music is on..I'm on!
 
emmcookie....I love your new ticker and it's a great motivational tool. When you're able to log in as you lose and watch that ticker move across the screen it will be such an encouragement. And we love watching it with you!!!
 
OK, yesterday, I did ok. Well, considering. I ate a tofurky sandwich, Zero coke and small bag of chips (I konw), and them 2 slices of homemade pizza, with 1/2 block soy cheese. Yesterday was hell, I'm glad I did as well as I did. As I spent 5 hours in emergency with sillygirl, who has a VERY un-silly back problem!!!
So, today, was better, I had a cup and 1/2 of bran cereal and soy milk.
For lunch, 1/2 cantolope. For early supper, tofury sandwich,w/ 3 slices soy cheese.
For supper, a tofu stir-fry with brown rice. And I had un-oiled almonds on it too. And only had 1 helping! And no sweets!!!
Who am I?
I'm starting to feel a bit different. I might have more energy ( but I've not had 5 pounds of suger a day!?!).
Maybe too soon to tell, but I think I like it.
I hope to have exercise in there somewhere soon. I'm off this weekend, so I defenitly will then!!!
Have a good day (or night) evrybody!!!
:p
 
keep it up!

Keep up the good work! Do something fun this weekend. You deserve it just for being a good friend and for getting healthy.
